country great and wealthy. Remember, too
that you are fast becoming the East to that
vast country beyond you, upon which so much
of your future prosperity must depend.

At the conclusion Of the Presidents re-
marks the people were given an opportun-
ity to greet him and his wife. They passed
rapidly through gang-way four abreast,
and there was little or no hand shaking
done. Even at this rate the reception
continued until five O'Clock, and there
were still a number in line who left disap-
pointed. The party returned to the Coates
House at the conclusion of the public re-
ception for dinner.
One of the party who has seen all the
receptions since the President left Wash
ington says the reception at the custom
house this afternoon was the most success
full of them all in point of numbers. Over
twenty-five thousand persons paid their
respects in less than two hours.
The festivities closed tonight with the
pageant of the Priests of PalIas and their
subsequent ball. Great preparations had
been made for these features and the pop
ular expectations were fully realized in
cent character of the entertainment, to-
gether with the long line of march caused
a slight delay in the start of procession,
but the myraids of sightseers waited
patiently all along the route and rewarded
the participants by hearty cheering as
each display came in sight.
There were twenty floats in line, and as
they passed under the brilliant arches Of
gas jets made gorgeous scene. The
m arch was delayed somewhat by minor
accidents, but it was all over by eleven
o'clock, and by midnight the large hall
built for the priests of Pallas ball, was
filled with gay assemblage. Seven thou
sand invitations had been issued, and, al
though not nearly all were accepted, the
hall was crowded with dancers and the
festivities continued until late
hour. The President concluded that
it would be best for himself and his fellow
excursionists to avoid the danger which
might attend a trip through the densely
crowded streets to the junction where a
reviewing stand had been erected for him,
and for that reason as well as an economy
of time, he remained at the hotel and, with
Mrs. Cleveland, witnessed the parade
from the balcony.
Shortly before ten O'Clock the presiden-
tial party quietly proceeded to the car

station at Twentieth and Broadway in or
der to avoid the rush at the union depot.
The train had been pulled out from the
depot to the station, and by eleven o'clock
the party were on their way to Memphis
via the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Gulf
and Kansas City, Springfield &
Memphis railroads. A stop will
probably be made at Springfield,
No., when the train reaches there about 5
a m. The President expressed the pleas
ure the visit to Kansas City had given
him, and his regret that his engagements
precluded longer stay. The party left
with all in good health and spirits, but
quite fatigued with the days excitement
and sightseeing. Mrs. Cleveland is
held in warm remembrance by
the patients at the city hos
pital, who were the beneficiaries
of thoughtful act of kindness on her part
during her sojourn in Kansas City. The
flowers which filled the Presidents car on
the arrival in this city, and these together
made large wagon-load, were by Mrs.
Cleveland's direction sent to the hospital
for the benefit of the inmates, who re-
turned their grateful thanks to the lady
who remembered them.
